How do you overcome introversion, being shy and not knowing how

You need to distinguish the two things.
Introversion is more being comfortable with/needing time alone. I don't think you can overcome it.
Being shy and awkward... you just need to progressively walk out of your comfort zone. At some point, you'll learn.

I think you can change, I was definitely an introvert when I was younger. I didnt like socialising, I enjoyed time alone with my thoughts

But as I got older and left school something snapped, probably around the same time I realised I wouldnt see my friends every day anymore.

And I couldn't go without some social stimulation anymore.
Was awkward at first because I was still an awkward shy introvert at heart, trying to be social, but overtime I've just molded myself into something else


I think its just a case of believing in something. Its amazing how you can change when you really, REALLY stick to an ideal in your head.

Fake it till you make it and eventually you start living the lie, until it aint a lie no more

Keep telling yourself its what you want, force yourself to talk to people, take note of other people talking, it'll come with time

Think out loud. One thing leads to another and youll discover how to communicate at least in theory. When you say something awkward push through it. Your face will glow, you'll hit a wall but dont stop. Never stop.
